| Title | Letter from Edward Sabine, Tortington to Humphrey Lloyd, Trinity College, Dublin |
| Date | 20 May 1837 |
| Description | Regarding a new formula for dip observations by [Adolph Theodor] Kupffer and how it compares to one of Mayer's [?].
Discussion of how best to combine the observations of [James Clark] Ross and [Professor John] Phillips and others in their upcoming report of the British magnetic survey.
Sabine has received a 'universal' instrument from Munich which Dr Robinson ordered for him. 'The cost was 48£ freight included - no duty as Mr Rice gave an order for its admission duty free - which is more than the Tories could do for my telescope.' |
